The Blobfish

http://img.waffleimages.com/c4147578d91 ... obfish.jpg

The blobfish is interesting for a few reasons:

- It has almost zero muscle mass. It is, quite literally, a fat, gelatinous blob that floats around the very bottom of the ocean and eats whatever it happens to float close too. Only a few of these creatures have ever been seen, due to their extreme habitats.

- It appears to be very, very sad.

Also just happens to be a distant cousin of Mr. Zoloft

Almost like "Finding Emo" (spoof of "Finding Nemo").

Yeah, I know, I had to say that. Thanks for sharing that piece of info and pic.

LOL! It does seem to have an uncanny resemblance.

That is one of the wierdest fish I have ever seen.

Certainly a very interesting specimen. The pressures along some portions of the ocean floor have to be tremendous, so I imagine the blobfish evolved in a way that allows it to survive at such depths. There are some fascinating creatures down there!

I think I'd be sad if I looked like that.

Weird looking fish. It sure is used to the abyss. The abyss has interesting creatures yet to be known. Some live deep as the Mariana Trench.
